18. What is AYP? Connecticut’s targets are based on the following:  CMT Grades 3-8 95 percent of students who attend school in grades 3-8 take the test 78* percent score proficient or above in reading 82* percent score proficient or above in math and 70* percent score basic or above in writing or the percentage at or above basic improves from the previous year  CAPT Grade 10 95 percent of students who attend school in grade 10 must take CAPT 81* percent of students must score proficient or above in Reading 80* percent of students must score proficient or above in Math and School must have a 70* percent graduation rate, or improvement over the previous school year * these percentages increase periodically with the target being 100% proficient or above by 2014

19. Safe Harbor  If a school does not make AYP outright, they can qualify under the safe harbor provision. To qualify under safe harbor, first the school has to meet the additional academic indicator (70% above basic in writing at the elementary and middle school – 70% graduation rate at the high school) The school and subgroups also have to meet the 95% participation rate. Neither of these two hurdles is hard.  The final hurdle is that the number of NOT proficient students (in the areas where the school missed AYP standard) has to decline by 10% over the previous year.
